THE TABLES TURNED.

Old Jacob Barker, one Of the
early lights of Wall street, once
took otfense at some action Of his
bank. A few days after he pre-
sented $4,000 in bills-a much
larger amount than the same fig
ures represent nowadays-and de-
manded specie for them. The
bank officials equal to the emer-
gency, but thought to revenge
themselves for the scare Barker
had given them; SO they rolled
out ~ kegs Of $1,000 each, the
teller explaining that the kegs
were filled with 5 and 10 cent
pieces. Barker saw the point, and
justified his reputation for sharp
ness. He ordered the whole ~
kegs to be unheaded on the spot,
took a careless handful Of coin
from each keg, then calmly said
that he desired to have the remain
der placed to his credit. The
bank had to lose his valuable Gus
tom or take this money. so it chose
the latter; but the tedious count Of
the forty kegs, contents consumed
many proftless hour:

TOBACCO AND BUTTER.

The following interesting story,
appearing in the report of the
Seventh Annual Convention of the
Ontario Agricultural and Expert
mental Union, goes to show how
scrupulously clean must be all the
conditions surrounding the pro-
duction of A 1 butter. It was re-
ported by the Agricultural Col
lege at Guelph.
There were two brothers, both
extensive butter makers and ex-
porters; one was an habltual
smoker, while the other did not
use tobacco in any shape or form.
They 10th sold their butter
through an agent on a foreign
market, and the one who did not
smoke always received a higher
price for his butter than the other.
Not being able IN any other way
to find out why this distinction
should be made, they at last re-
solved to change and reverse the
labels on the packages as an ex-
pertinent. In due time a letter
was received from the agent stat
ing the strange fact of a very dis
agreeable taste or flavor in the
butter belonging to the one
brother which had never been
known before; while the other,
always with a bad taste before,
was now pure and sweet, and
worth p cents more on the pound
in market. The brothers were
now convinced that it was the
odor of the tobacco which had in
vaded the butter and injured its
value.

The Commissioners Salary Z.

There has been great deal said
about the reduction of the School
Commissioner salary caused by the
bill Introduced in the present legis-
lature by DR.. Pope. 1t is not to be
doubted that our representative in
bringing forward this bill, did it from
the purest and best Of motives. Econ
omy in the administration Of affairs
was the object and only object aimed
at. We do not feel that it was, nay,
assert, that it was not blow at ed
ucation. We feel that our legislator
is worthy of the highest praise, and
think every one will agree with u.s..
But there is q limit to everything.
The idea Of economy in the govern.
ment of country may be, but sell
dom is, carried too far. We feel
that this is one time when it has been
carried beyond the limit. We be-
lieve that the Commissioner is worth
the salary he now gets, and to reduce
it would be to injure seriously the
cause of education in the county.

says: LAS will be seen bS the pro-

in this issue, there is some opposi-
ton to the proposed bill. 1t seems
to US, however, that the resolution
was hastily introduced and passed.
Had preambles preceded the reSolu-
ton passed by the Association, set
ting forth the reason for such action,
the public would not be so ruch per-
picked in accounting for tue pas

such preambles creates the impression
that the resolution was either passed

weakness Of their case was apparent

think that, preamble was absolute.

resolution, and that the subject came
into the mind of some fellow so
quickly that he, on the spur Of the
moment, did not have time to write
preamble. 1t further supposes, or
at least this is the conclusion we are
driven to, that the teachers were ig-
norant Of the fact that such q bill
was before The legislature. If they
were not, why were they not prepared
to vote on the resolution st any
moment? If they had thought of the
question before why was it necessary
for them to have u preo m6le? ? 1t
did not require argument to convince
them that the bill was injurious to
the educational interest ofthe county,

4 MAN TRULY BRAVE.
How the Crown Prince Received the
News that His Malady was Fatal.

The truest hero is he who sur
passes in moral courage. To face
with serenity the certainty Of lin
gerirg agony and death is a far
higher test of absolute bravery
than to plunge into battle, where
blare Of trumpets and waving Of
banners and shout of comrades
and hope Of glory lend fictitious
coloring to the grim prospect Of
death. "Unser Fritz" beloved CT
all the Fatherland, the pivot Of
European peace, man kindly, pi-
Gus and brave, lies dying at San
Reno. The New York World
tells how he bore his doctors YER
dict:
a bullet might have struck me
during the late war. II it so
pleases God, this lines Of mine
viii take the place Of that bullet. "
These are the heroic words OF
the Crown Prince in speaking
about his illness. 1t was touch
ing scene when Professor Schroe-
ter examined the royal patient.
The Grown Princess and her
daughters stood by while the doc
tor did his work. They were all
weeping silently. All except the
sufferer himself were unnamed.
When the inspection was finished
and the doctor, with grave look
on his face, had stepped back, the
Prince said:
well, my dear doctor, is it a
cancer?"
1t is a new and malignant for
nation, your Imperial Highness, "
answered the Professor. Then
there was silence, save for the sob
blng OF DR.. Schroeder, who mad
broken down.
1T was the most terrible mo-
ment of my life,' . relates Professor
Schroeder. After a while the
Prince arose and gave the doctor
his hand, dismissing him with
many thanks. The Grown Prin-
cess followed him to the door with
streaming eyes, and thanked him
from her heart. Il can never for
get" she says, with kind consid-
Grafton you prepared my dear hus-
band"
An exile in San Reno, the
Crown Prince thinks with affec-
ton of Berlin. You must tell
the people of Berlin" he said re-
Gently to.Mr. Bernburg, who is at
San Reno, chow deeply grateful
I am to them for all their tokens
of sympathy" Mr.. Bernburg
said that never had the people SO
loved their Prince as now. 1.-The
feeling is mutual one" said the
Prince. He then said that he
hoped soon to be able to return tc
the Fatherland, and was going on
to speak Of other things, when an
official interfered and reminded
him that silence was necessary,
The Prince obeyed. His obedi-
ence is what !he doctors praise
most.

A MOVE TO LYNCH VOOLFOLK IN
COURT.
Tho Crowd startled and Driven on by
Cries of ''Hang Him, Hang Him %
Special AuguSt1 Chronicle.

tCpSCtut 4t4JuStL C"OHtCtf.
MACON, Ga. December IA
very dramatic and highly sensation
al event occurred in the Superior
court room this evening during the
trial OF Thos. G. Voolfolk, charged
with the murder Of the Voolfolk fam-
ilv. Counsel Rutherford, for the
defence, had concluded his long,
patleut and exhaustive argument,
winding up with q strong appeal for
the prisoner. The court had taken
arecess, and, on re-asscmbling, Solicl-
tor Hardelnan had arisen to conclude
the arguments. He had spoken some
time, and was under full headway
discussing the points of evidence,
when Cicero Tirope, Of Macon, and
Reuben Mast. Of Twiggs County. both
prominent and well known citizens,
suddenly shouted out from the rear
of the audience.
HANG HIN. HANG HIN.
Immediately there was great com
motion, the dense crowd becoming
wild and nuyovernable with excite
ment. Judge Gustin recognized the
danger and raped violently for
order. The sheriff and baillff's did
all they could, but the people nut
tered, and riot was imminent. The
judge was on the point Of calling the
prisoner on the bench, but changed
his mind quickly aud had him Sc
cretly transferred to another room in
the building. He dispatched for de-
tachmert of police who quickly ap-
peared on the scene. Before the
police arrived, however, the Judge ad'
journed the court until to morrow
morrow The affair created great
sensation, ana is the on y topic
OF conversation to night. The agi-
tation apparently had no effect on
Voolfolk. who, if he turned 4 shade
paler, showed no emotion. lie view
ed calmly and quietly the scene.
The case will be given to the jury
tv tomorrow noon. 1t is thought
that the demonstration has had g
marked effect on the jury.

In again assuming the edltorshlp
Of the Teachers coluIcn in the HER
AID AND News, l feel that l have
undertaken no light task, but at the
same time believe that the teachers
Of the county are more than willing
10 help me in the work. | believe
that they are becoming more inter,
ested in the work in which they are

man and woman is beginning to give
education more careful thought, and
are willing to help in this, one of the
greatest questions Of the day.
Combined, concentrated efforts on

be taught. Uniformity Of action as
workers in a great cause must be Sc

gressive age demands that the dull,

be laid aside and forgotten.
Let that teacher who prefers the
